Baron CB7 Rim

The Baron CB7 is a light and strong carbon trail rim with a 35mm inner width that offers added support for wider tires, and an asymmetric design that creates a stronger overall wheel. Wide carbon rims are everywhere these days, but the truth is that most of them have real problems. Many are difficult to work with when it comes to mounting, inflating, and removing tubeless tires and don’t offer as reliable an airtight seal under impacts and hard cornering. It’s also tough to find a wide carbon rim that’s durable and light without creating an overly harsh ride. Wider, stiff rims also put more stress on spokes and hubs, leading to more frequent repairs.

Together with the carbon experts at Ibis, our engineers developed the Baron CB7 rim to solve every one of these problems. By combining a strong and light asymmetric rim design with Stan’s patented Bead Socket Tubeless technology, we created the first wide carbon rim able to live up to the high standards we set for tubeless performance. With five patents and counting, Bead Socket Technology tubeless rims make it easier to install, inflate, and remove tires. BST also offers the most dependable airtight seal in all conditions, and the design’s low profile increases strength while saving rotational weight for faster acceleration.

The asymmetric design of the Baron CB7 also incorporates Stan’s radial impact absorbing carbon technology, RiACT. Low sidewalls and careful attention to shape and lay-up let RiACT carbon rims deflect radially to absorb impacts and vibrations, making them more durable, more comfortable and faster rolling, while still maintaining excellent lateral stiffness.

The Baron CB7 combines a lightweight and strong asymmetric design with the world’s best tubeless system. The Baron CB7 is wide carbon done right.
